This picture I took as I was walking on the beach shows a linear perspective. The two parallel lines of the boardwalk going further in the distance make it seem like the boardwalk in narrowing, but in reality, it is not.

This picture I took of my two rubber ducks shows interposition. My yeti duck is slightly blocking the reindeer duck, causing it to look much closer when it is not in reality.

This picture I drew of yellow dashes forming a star is an example of closure. We perceive a star when looking at the drawing rather than random yellow dashes.

This picture of the carpet in my bedroom shows a texture gradient. The carpet closer to the camera is in greater detail while the carpet further out gets less and less detailed.

This picture I took of me "holding" my cello is an example of relative size. The cello is actually way further back up against my wall causing it to look smaller almost like I'm holding a violin instead.

This picture I took of my shoes at the beach shows relative clarity. My shoes are clearly depicted in the photo while the sand and the sea look hazy and distant.

This picture I drew is an example of a figure and ground. You can either see a man's face with blue hair or a penguin depending on how you look at the drawing.

My Lego set of the Starry Night is an example of continuity. The tiny pieces all put together allow us to view the picture as a whole rather than as jagged and differently shaped pieces.

This picture I drew represents proximity because the top set of hearts looks like one group of 4x4 while the bottom group has the same number of hearts but looks like two groups of 2x4.

This picture I drew represents similarity because even though the circles are two different colors, they are still paired together and look like alternating rows.
